I just had another idea... again, not my forte on the graphic side, but instead of just doing lines for the borders, it could be depicted as "ruts" in the sand... I don't know if you could do this or not, but as an example of what I mean:



... then it certainly would look less like an overlay of a sat map. If you look closely at Iceland, it seems to work because the border lines are closer to the underlying base color than they are to the overlay colors of the continents, it adds depth.

Since you don't want to use overlay colors, then there is no way of using that trick. Buy you could "sink" the boundary lines into the sand with appropriate shadow. Or you can use the Iceland "trick", and just use overlays that are each a slightly a different shad of red (since that's where you seem to like to go), and then small gaps for the boundaries.... I know very little how this works, so if I talking about stuff that's impossible, just feel free to ignore.

I aprishiate everyone's input, and I hope to get back on this map some day. But it has become increasingly obvious that I need to pull back from a few things to focus on RL issues. (school mostly)

Hopefully with a bit of time I'll work on the map behind the scenes and get better at using the software. When I can get this back up and running, I can dazzle this puppy right to Quenched status... maybe.

Again thank you all for your help and suggestions!

Hey, hope all that RL stuff gets under control. I really like what your doing with this map and hope you don't give it up.

so, shouldn't this thread be moved into the scrap heap, since it isn't being worked on right now?

Yes, this map is going on vacation: [moved]

If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the CAs will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system
